Really confusing unprotected sex and plan b dilemma

Hi okay so my bf and I had unprotected sex oct 30th then that same night right after I took a plan b. I got my period the following tues nov4 it was very light and last just a few days. We then had unprotected sex again the following Monday nov 10, 3 times in one night. All of which were unprotected. The following day I took a plan b around 1pm. Then that Wednesday we also had sex for a bit it was unprotected but before it got more serious we used protection. Then that Friday morning I got my period again but it also was very light and only lasted a day or two and just mostly light spotting. My question is, probably dumb but is there any small chance that I could be pregnant? I didn't take any plan b after that last time. And I know I got two light periods within a week of each other but idk if that was a side affect of the previous plan b. It's been a week since we last had sex and I think that's too soon to tell but I've been urinating a lot today and the entire day I have felt incredibly dizzy like if I'm about to faint which never happens to me.

The reason I ask is because I worry that if I am even in the slightest bc this past Sunday I had a few beers and I'm wondering would that cause fetal alcohol syndrome this early on or something. Idk I just need help please.

Thank you so so much! That's what I initially thought, but then I became worried and thought I might be underestimating things. So I thought is ask just in case. But yes I think you're right, I'm going to play it safe until my next period and then take appropriate measures. I honestly am never this careless I don't know what we were thinking!

Taking Plan B just once can really mess with things (i.e., cause spotting, a lighter period, a heavier period, a missed period, etc., etc.), but given you took it twice so close together?  You could really have screwed things up.  Either way, you would be highly unlikely to show pregnancy symptoms so soon.  If you're afraid you might be pregnant, my best advice would be to live like you are until you know for sure.

Since you did have unprotected sex, even if for a little while, then didn't do anything about it, it is always possible, but I would truly lean toward Plan B messing up your cycle for right now.

I would strongly suggest considering getting on the pill and setting a cell phone alarm to not forget it so you don't have to rely on emergency pills, which are intended for use once in a blue moon.

Best wishes!
